Pam works at a large stationary supply chain called Paperclips Inc. She started in the warehouse but worked her way up to the store manager role over a period of 25 years. The owner of the store, Todd, recently decided that he wants his son, Packer, to take over as manager. Todd advises Pam that she is being re-assigned to the assistant manager position, due to her tendency to arrive late from time to time. Todd assures Pam that while she has far fewer management responsibilities, her salary and other benefits, like free paper, will stay the same.
Pam is embarrassed by her demotion, but at age 54, she worries that her prospects are bleak if she quits and tries to find another job. There is no credible evidence that Pam's work as store manager was sub- standard (and she has been very stressed by Todd's allegations that her occasional tardiness compromised her work in any way).
Analyze the claim Pam may have, including remedies that she could seek.
